Neil Young has launched a new website, GoEarthNeil Young has launched a new website, GoEarth.org, with the aim of motivating people toward global conservation. The site offers information on earth ecology, banning GMOs, the future of farming, climate change and social causes, among other topics. Taking inspiration from the "Village" of activist organizations that have been traveling with Young on his current tour, the site's motto is, "It takes a village to keep the free world rockin'."

"GoEarth.org is a powerful resource for finding services and organizations dedicated to helping you live a healthy, vital and informed life, while participating in Earth's flourishing sustainability movement," a statement for the site reads. "[The site] is a reliable portal for information on common sense, innovative and creative solutions to many of the crisis we face. GoEarth.org connects us with some of the most effective organizations, working to conserve the natural world and protect our freedoms."

Young has been touring this year in support of his latest record, The Monsanto Years, which he put out in June. No stranger to activism, Young created a film about the company Monsanto, which makes genetically engineered seeds, called "Seeding Fear," in which a farmer named Michael White talked about standing up to the corporation, after it accused him of infringing on their copyright.

The company shot back at Young the next day, citing distortions it perceived in his storytelling. "Protecting patents and copyrights can be difficult in any business – including the entertainment industry," a rep for the company said. "Mr. White's actions are equivalent to pirating an album, producing thousands of copies and selling bootleg copies – all while knowing what you're doing is illegal and that it will result in criminal charges if caught."

The singer-songwriter has also been welcoming activists onto his stage. Naelyn Pike, a member of the Native American rights organization Apache Stronghold, told Rolling Stone earlier this year how much it meant to her to have the opportunity. "It's been pretty awesome to be up on stage and look out and see so many people supporting us, yelling for us," she said..org, with the aim of motivating people toward global conservation.

Site Info & Links

Optimism and an open mind are the most radical political acts there
are.

We have thousands of energy options that can save our economy and planet without
sacrificing our resources or lifestyles.

The general public only hears of the few options that line the pockets of the
few that result in the suffering of the many.

The public information on this website makes it easy for anyone to clearly
understand how viable and abundant our future can really be.

We are not activists,
treehuggers or politicians...
we are EHS
professionals who have thoroughly enjoyed everything this planet and its people
have offered us and want to extend the quality of life for both.

NOTE: I post articles because I think they are of interest. Doing so doesn’t mean that I necessarily agree with every—or any—opinion in the posted article.
And although I often blog about disagreements, it is
VERY important to understand that I agreed more with the ideas of
President Obama and Dr. Chu than disagreed. (it is just part of
democracy, it gives balance and is vital)

Getting up every morning before 4am... the only thing that looks good is
coffee.

I do not think President Obama regularly drank coffee we he was in senate,

but he may want to try it on his new job.

WARNING: coffee is harmful to the
environment, small woodland animals and people who like to maintain status quo
